## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

DURING THE APPROACH TO THE NORTH RUNWAY, THE AIRPLANE MADE AN ABRUPT LEFT TURN AND NOSE DOWN MOVEMENT. WHEN THE PIC ATTEMPTED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE, THE CENTER STICK DID NOT MOVE. HE FINALLY REGAINED CONTROL AT ABOUT 200 FEET BEFORE THE AIRPLANE MADE CONTACT WITH THE GROUND. THE AIRPLANE CAME TO REST UNDER A SET OF POWER LINES.
